I have been unable to see any linked in page for a while now. Clicking on a link from a message email opens a page which just displays LINKEDIN.

If I copy/paste the link into a private window I can get in, but not with a normal window. I've ran CCcleaner but nothing changes, cleaned everything!

the links work in other browsers in normal mode, why not firefox?

Hi. I have about 15 home pages set to open when I open Firefox. I read the news, catch up on a few sites and have various jobs and tasks to complete. But whenn I've don all that, and close down Firefox, each time I open Firefox again to search for something etc, all 15 of my startup pages open up and I have to manually close them all down.

On Windows 11, all I need to do it right click the firefox icon and select open new tab. This is great, it opens Firefox with just a single new tab open. But on my iMac, this option is missing.

How can I re-open firefox with just a blank tab - or even just one specific page like Google?

Recently - in the last three weeks, when using Firefox, we have been unable to open DNA files, however, if we use Chrome directly (not going through Firefox), the ancestry files open without a problem.

I prefer using Firefox because of the added security. Any suggesstions?

Thank you

Questions about own firefox sync server

Hello. I just set up a self hosted firefox-syncserver on my homeserver.

I created a virtual host on nginx which looks something like this: firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com and have a mariadb database as the backend. In about:config on firefox, I then set the identity.sync.tokenserver.uri to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5.

Everything seems to work fine, but I still have some questions which I did not find an answer to online.

   Since I have this public accesspoint for my syncserver now, can not anyone just use it? What stops them from using my url (https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5) in their about:config?
   What is the SYNC_MASTER_SECRET for which I set to a 256-bit random key?
   When I navigate to https://firefox-syncserver.mydomain.com/1.0/sync/1.5 in my browser, why does it say {"status":"error","errors":[{"location":"body","name":"","description":"Unauthorized"}]}

I would really appreciate a good answer, as I could not find anything good about these points online.

I have trouble moving cards properly on a solitaire site when using firefox. What happens is when I scroll down through the deck, I get to a point where when I click on a card the one before it appears. I figured out that I can cycle through flipped cards to get back to the one I wanted to use. When I use google chrome, I have no issues.

Insecure Passive Content Netflix Canada-Can't resolve -Why?

For over 6 weeks, and only on Netflix Canada, we (family members) have been getting the padlock with a triangle in the address bar only after I log into Netflix. This occurs on any and all of our 4 computers using all of the 3 different internet providers, one of which is the largest Internet provider in Canada, BELL including also the their BELL Mobility Network. I appreciate that as you can see we're using older operating systems, but Firefox reports our version 110 is up to date. Our adult children have much newer computers and later if not the latest Mac OS, and are attempting to access Netflix from other internet providers elsewhere in the province of Ontario. One of them is using the next largest internet provider in Canada, or at least the province, ROGERS. She too is still having this problem. I've been through the mill with Netflix's support people and they blame you guys and our internet providers. I cannot resolve the issue, and for that reason we have ceased using Netflix because of the implicit security vulnerability attached.

What can I do about this? -Peter

After the version 110 update, Firefox has issues displaying text in certain pages like Google Calc, PDF forms, online publication readers. The text seems to break up and fade out. Navigating up and down the page often restores the missing text, but not all of it. Suck pages render without issue in Google Chrome. I am using Firefox in a Linux container within ChromeOS (stable channel), but this issue only started after the latest Firefox update.

It appears that the Firefox v. 111 update has solved this issue.

When we select one of the context menu to copy the Image URL, for example, when you re reading in the page below, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_paintings_by_Pierre-Auguste_Renoir;

and selecting one thumbnail like as I attatched, we expect Firefox returns like URL below. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/26/Swing-Renoir.jpeg/200px-Swing-Renoir.jpeg

But actually, Firefox sometimes returns like this "blob" url. blob:https://en.wikipedia.org/e7b597f6-ea69-4cc2-aa37-07cad9e66a7d

This is not what I expected and desired. Do you have any idea of the cause and solution for this situation?

Until today I had extension icons on the taskbar. They are now gone. I have dome everything the various websites have suggested and still nothing. I am not using private windows and the controls are set to not allow. I have disabled and re-enabled numerous time as well as rebooting W 11 and Firefox several times to no avail.Nnone of the extensions in question appear on the Customize screen. All of the apps, browsers and OS are running the most current versions. Having said all of this, one extension does appear the remaining five seem to be on sabbatical. I'm sure the problem is something obvious and simple but ........

I am being told i entered something in a website on 2/9/23 and i do not believe i even went to that website on Feb 9, 2023. My Firefox is set to "never remember browsing history" when i log off. Is there a way to see if i even went to a website on 2/9/23 other than checking in my browser history? This is VERY important matter, and i think someone hacked us.
